Sea nettle Chrysaora quinquecirrha) nematocyst venom hemagglutinins
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1983Abstract 1. Sea nettle nematocyst venom contains hemagglutinins specific for human and rabbit erythrocytcs. 2. These hemagglutinins exist as multiple molecular forms based on their behavior on DEAE cellulose and SDS-PAGE. 3. Hemagglutinin activity was not inhibited by several simple mono- and disaccharides, but was inhibited by dextran sulfate and ...

Fibrous Mini-Collagens in Hydra Nematocysts
Science, 1994Nematocysts (cnidocysts) are exocytotic organelles found in all cnidarians. Here, atomic force microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy reveal the structure of the nematocyst capsule wall. The outer wall consists of globular proteins of unknown function. The inner wall consists of bundles of collagen-like fibrils having a

A Disulfide-Linked Collagenous Protein of Nematocyst Capsules
Science, 1966The major protein component present in the capsule and thread of a sea anemone nematocyst consists of monomers of a collagen-like protein linked by disulfide bonds. Purified nematocyst capsules and threads are rich in hydroxyproline, and dissolved by disulfide reducing agents.

Nematocysts were examined in specimens of the coronate scyphomedusaLinuche unguiculata collected off the North Carolina coast. The cnidome consisted of isorhizas and heterotrichous microbasic euryteles. The isorhizas were all of the a-isorhiza variety; euryteles were present in small and large size classes.

Leveraging Nematocysts Toward Human Care
2016The stinging cells of cnidarians contain nematocysts, which are a sophisticated ultra-fast injection system that can penetrate the skin immediately. This chapter will review two nematocyst-based biotechnology applications. The first hinders nematocyst discharge and thereby prevents jellyfish envenomation.

Fluid Dynamics of Nematocyst Prey Capture
2018A nematocyst is a specialized organelle within cells of jellyfish and other Cnidarians that sting. Nematocysts are also present in some single-celled protists. They contain a barbed, venomous thread that accelerates faster than almost anything else in the animal kingdom. Here we simulate the fluid–structure interaction of the barbed thread accelerating
